Table 3: The Matrix of Correlation between the Variables
Speeded cloze-elide M-C Cloze C-Test Reading
Speeded cloze-elide 1 .82** .80** .82**
M-C Cloze 1 .78** .81**
C-Test 1 .83**

Note: **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
As Table 3 clearly indicates, the obtained results from the Pearson Correlation revealed that there is a strong and significant correlation between speeded cloze-elide test and the multiple-choice cloze test (r = .82, p < .01, n = 150 ), and speeded cloze elide test correlates at ( r = .80, p < .01, n = 150 ) with C-Test.Therefore it can be concluded that the performance on the speeded cloze-elide test is strongly related to performance on the multiple-choice cloze test and C-Test. It also shows that the relationship between the speeded cloze-elide test and reading comprehension ( r = .82, p <.01, n = 150 ) was strong and significant. These two measures are highly related.
